The Individual Sections of the West Highland Way

The West Highland Way is usually walked northwards – starting in and ending in Fort William. The ‘typical’ itinerary for the West Highland Way is over 8 days, allowing one day for Ben Nevis at the end. This allows the trip to be completed in a normal ‘week off’ and the weekends either end. Of course – this is flexible and you can check out our West Highland Way Itineraries page for more ideas on how to tailor the West Highland Way to your desired number of days.
